Pet Adoption Application

Please Read:

Please copy and fully fill out this form if you are interested in adopting any of my rats (babies, rescues, and retired adults.) Do not leave questions blank! If you do not currently have rats, questions like "what do you feed your rats" and "what kind of bedding do you use" should still be answered. If you're wanting pet rats, I'm sure you've done research and should know what to feed them and what bedding to use. And if you just don't know the answer, let me know! I will be happy to go over any information to make sure you know how to take care of your pets. Also, please include a photo of your set up. I have come across a lot of people who have been misinformed on the proper caging, so we can make sure right away that your caging is appropriate :)

I, ______________, agree to answer the following questions to the best of my ability.

Breeder Application

At this time I am not offering my rats as breeding stock. I want to have several more years of observation before feeling they are up for others to take on breeding. Thank you for your understanding. If you have questions about breeding, however, I am always open to discussing this topic.
